Thanks again you never fail to get into my memory, I love when we can reminisce!
My dad after he came back from WWII drove truck with a '46 Dodge conventional cab with the 251 Chrysler flathead six,5:speed transmission but no 2 speed axle, he was ridiculed by a fellow driver with a Mack who referred to the Dodge as a "puddle smacker"for some reason the bigger rigs could run away from the Dodge on level roads but because of the way it was geared it could run away from them in the mountains though.
Incredible job bringing those old black n whites to life!! Sure did enjoy seeing them. Thank you.
Damn I love this stuff and the fact that these pictures look like they were taken yesterday!!!
Tiny mirrors are a nightmare,I've tried em and you can't see a thing!
Awesome video takes me back with so many memories great times 🙋♂️🇬🇧
That twin-steer GMC Crackerbox with the drom box you have at the beginning of this video is impossible to ignore.
There's a similar tank van at the Cole Land Transportation in Bangor. Well worth a visit!
@@Scott_From_Maine I've seen pics of the Crackerbox at that museum on Wikimedia Commons, but I didn't think that was a twin-steer version:

Now I know, and I should add it to my bucket list.
As a retired truck driver, I can think of three companies that I drove for that are no longer here. Big Three, Cemical express, and Go Crete. I'm sure there's more. I started out in cabovers, which I drove many, until companies started going conventional. I will always prefer cabovers.
Back in the day I drove a few of these. Thanks for the video.
Akers! My Grand Pap drove for Akers almost 30 years. He had his own rig, it was a Mack.
Como siempre amigazo hermosos clacicos gracias Chao chao
WTF?...😳😳
I drove for two of them. Alterman Transport Lines, and Yellow Transit aka Yellow Freight.
I actually drove a few of those models of trucks back in the very early '70s. LOL
Another Great Job with this video!

Be nice if you could do a video on the Michigan Specials that hauled gravel throughout Michigan hauling triple and ten wheelers behind the tractors
I'm from Michigan and used to drive a Autocar gravel train 80 ton.double trailers..still got pics of it
I drove for Coles Ex. Portland Maine
Back when truck drivers wore uniforms with caps and ties!
Good job picking "realistic" colors for the ol' gals.
I know many "real" truckers scorned these as "cheapies" but the truth is...they put on as many miles as their "big"
brothers.
Thanks again!....
TOP 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Nice job but you forgot the Overdrive honey. lol
Very interesting to see all the different combinations that used to be in the US..coming from the UK/EU I find it interesting that the US never really used rigids (straight trucks) coupled to drawbar trailers (turntable axle/s at front). These were very common in the Europe of old - more common than tractors pulling semi trailers. Not so today though, the drawbars have all but disappeared. Love the trucks, love the film. Regards from the UK.
Does anyone out there have any photos on pilot freight? I had a great uncle drove for them,he was based in Winchester, Va. I've saw any thing about them.
gteat job
No A/C, no power steering. Noisy rough ride not much good about the "good old days"
